absolutely beautiful, I agree with PaulKilpin though, I would love to see a shot showing her lines. I'm amazed at her speed, whats her length and sail area?
@shadowwolf3666 Fantastic video .The plank on edge cutters were built to the old Thames Measurement rating rule which tended notoriously to favour narrow beam. However they were brilliant at coping with the short steep seas found in the English channel where you are usually beating to windward . Compare to American boats schooner rigged and beamy for offwind usually encountered on American coast.
I liked the way the skipper was giving instructions, not too much unnecessary yelling, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Very nice video, It was well shot and edited. I would love to have seen a final full shot of the boat as you pulled away [or even a still]. Thanks

It's hard to fathom the power of that vessel, but this vid sure helps. Thanks!

@shadowwolf3666 No, she has a much deeper and narrower hull form than Spray.
